A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO AMEND RULE 1.9 OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES BY THE SPEAKER, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE SPEAKER IS AUTHORIZED TO CREATE CERTAIN AD HOC COMMITTEES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That Rule 1.9 of the Rules of the House of Representatives be amended by adding a new undesignated paragraph at the end to read:

"Provided, the Speaker may appoint an individual ad hoc committee to consider a specific legislative issue that he may refer to the committee. An ad hoc committee appointed pursuant to this rule has the same legislative authority provided to standing committees including, but not limited to, the election of officers, adoption of committee rules, debate, and consideration of legislation referred to it. The Speaker also may assign the staff, as appropriate, to assist the ad hoc committee in its work. The ad hoc committee shall dissolve upon completion of its business, as determined by the Speaker."
